Update on Hannah's Items

[Bearded Clam]

Tommy who?

Did the guitars sell? Man, I wanted that Hamer really bad.

[Zan]

Well, you're seeing it from a fan's perspective, not Tommy's. Do you realize how much of this kind of shit he probably has? Maybe these aren't "family treasures" to him, maybe it's old stuff he doesn't want anymore. To him there is probably not that much more sentimental value in this stuff than there would be to me if I sold off my old reading award certificates from third grade or something. What's he gonna do, put an old award from Deutschland up on his wall and stare at it? Or awards for songs he dislikes so much that he refuses to play them? Kinda unlikely.

Also, did it occur to anyone here that maybe Tommy gave his blessing for this stuff to be sold?

Damn, that's Sterling AND Allan I've agreed with in the same day. Somebody better call the #*@&!#$ media!

[Michigan Girl]

And some wonder why people like Tommy don't bother interacting with their fans anymore.

It would please me if he'd just interact w/his daughter and keep these treasures in the family where they belong ...or a public facility for all fans to enjoy!! Other than that, I've never wondered ...

Maybe it would please them if fans would just stop making ignorant assumptions about their personal lives.

I feel certain of it ...the fact remains; if my child were selling off family treasures, I would question it as well!!

Listen, Sterling ...I've already been lectured on presumptions/assumptions ... it has been established that I presumed
non of the above listed ... unfortunately, the perspective of a fan is all I've got!! I expressed my feelings as a fan and as a parent!!
Perhaps you, and others, have some inside knowledge, I, on the other hand, was driven purely by instinct.
Nothing stated in this thread was intended to hurt or slander anyone, be it child or adult ...how would any of us know
if these items were even authentic without questions?!?! Perhaps in the future someone could provide us with more
information which would eliminate the need for wonderment and attack!! Thank you!!

[froy]

Please, you're a collector, you're not thinking past that!!

You don't know the first thing about me.

True ...and you me!!
Sorry ...this was an assumption!!

Because ALL I do every day, 24x7, is look for new Styx items. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

lol ...I have no clue!!


Seriously ...if I had read SMB's post ^^^^I'da had nothing ...I do have something
to say to Born for Adventure in the other thread though!!

I posted that information in the other thread that no one went back to

I do know that band members/families visit this site, not often like they use to. I also know that members from other bands check out these forums too at times. Some do giggle at times.

Gee I wonder what Gowen thinks of this thing

In the future I will search all threads before posting my opinion in this forum ...I have this uncontrollable desire
to curse right now!!
Thank you, SMB!!

I actually posted that before finishing reading the thread . . . therefore did not know that Zan had basically already said the same thing, LOL.

I think a disclaimer needs to be stated at the beginning of each thread so band members, family and children are not offended by the content of the threads.

[SuiteMadameBlue]

I say curse away. There's WAY too many threads to read over on this forum, but then again, if you go back a few years almost every thread sounds the same as right now - seriously - LOL

There have been times that I really don't care what people think so I say what's on my mind, I figure it's an open forum, why not.

[Boomchild]

And some wonder why people like Tommy don't bother interacting with their fans anymore.

Seriously! If I were him I think I'd want to kick someone's ass.

It still somehow surprises me what utterly classless, graceless morons some people are. Sad.


Sterling

All I can say is that if Tommy can't take the good with the bad, he picked the wrong business to be in.

This place could certainly use a LUBE THE EFF UP BEFORE ENTRY warning!! I mean a small amount of friction can be pleasant, but some folks behaved as though we rolled into town, stole all your firstborn and SJ raped all your women!! Now, where is the thread for Can I still be considered a fan if I don’t care for Tommy’s version of Open Arms?!?! ...

It was fun folks ...perhaps next time you will feed me first!!

[StyxCollector]

All I can say is that if Tommy can't take the good with the bad, he picked the wrong business to be in.

I somehow don't think when Tommy joined Styx they anticipated online forums debating things like this. I think the most they had to do with critical reaction and overall success (i.e. the dollars coming in ... or not). That is of course an over generalization, but in the 70s no one had this level of access to their favorite bands. If you were lucky you got a newsletter in the mail every so often or read an article in a magazine or newspaper.

I knew there was a reason I haven't been coming by here lately.

You are not the first to jump to conclusions based on fandom, believe me. My most memorable bizarre "fan perspective" experience was back around 2001 when a group of gals from the Styxworld BB were starting a collection to buy Tommy a new laptop after his broke, and he was unable to post "Notes from the band" for a few weeks.
That's right: they wanted everyone to chip in $20 to buy Tommy Shaw a new laptop. I still believe firmly that had any of them stopped for one second to think about how ridiculous that was, the idea would have died a relatively quick death. They meant well. But it was pretty loopy. LOL

Again, this is not about Tommy, who chose to be a public figure. It's about his family members, who did not.

Would Dennis react well if HIS kids were the subject of this thread? I think not, and more power to him.


Sterling

[Toph]

Maybe it would please them if fans would just stop making ignorant assumptions about their personal lives.

Froy/toph would have nothing to say

Fuck You - glen should have kicked your ass when he had the chance.

You'd have a point, but:

A) no one's kids were the "subject of this thread." That is, of course, until some here made a mountain out of a mole hill.

B) the constant fanning of the flames to garner brownie points with other Styx zealots and/or band members and their kin turned out to be exponentially sadder than the harmless assumptions and hyperbole that preceded them. But keep dragging this out ... you're halfway to a free ticket to a show.

[Toph]

Some of the rudest, most insensitive remarks have been made under the guise of "innocent joking." The excuse is as old as it is unacceptable.

Oh yeah... and you've NEVER done that...

Look, SHE decided to sell stuff on the Internet. That is a public forum. Some people chose to wonder why that was. Some may have clearly gone over the line,while others were just speculating. Point being, if you decide to sell a bunch of gold records nd guitars on the net of a famous guitarist who happens to be your father, people are just going to wonder what is up. If the Trump girl decides to put stuff of her dad's out there for sale on ebay, people are going to wonder why. Welcome to being a celebrity. If she doesn't want people asking or wondering then a) don't sell it, or b) say the reason upfront - hey guys, we have these laying around, we don't need them, we have too many things on the walls and I want someone who is a fan to be able to have them. Speculation ended. That is just the way it is. sorry. Normal goes out the window when you are auctioning off rare things.

[yogi]

Tommy being from Alabama I figured that they would just have a garage sale.

That's the 'Southern Way'!!!

[styxfanNH]

I go away for a few days and all hell breaks loose in here again.

Pot shots even in jest at Hannah have no place in here or anyone else. I didn't find the comment sarcastic or funny.

Hannah can sell these for whatever reason she wants. She contacted me through my website and said she wanted to make sure Styx fans could get ahold of them.

She clearly wanted to get them to Styx fans who might want a piece of memorabelia for their home.

People here have to lighten up. Pot shots at the regulars in here are one thing, but the orignal premise of this thread is just a sad state of those that participate in this shit.

Hooray ...someone here makes sense!! Thaaaaaank you!! :wink:

Oh and SFNH ...we do have a right to wonder, just as Hannah has a right to sell!!
I wish her the best of luck in her endeavor and I hope the Perfect Fan/s end up
w/these items!! As I stated earlier, some of you have the luxury of receiving/having inside
information ...others do not!!

Do you people that soooo want this to go away ever let go?!?!
Perhaps you should think about that ... Geeeeezus!!!

Nope welcome to the Styx forum where nobody never let anything go, hasn't changed in years. I think I am going to start yet another thread speculating why Styx parted ways with DDY. I have a theory and speculating is a lot of fun.

[tommyluvr2]

Maybe Hannah is going to take the money from the sale of these items and donate it to a worthy charity I'm pretty sure Tommy doens't need the money and she probably doesn't either.
